Two union tales

People wonder why it is that Detroit is in trouble. I had a friend send me a link to a detnews.com story on a Brazilian Ford assembly plant. Watch that video here. When you finish with that, check out this story by WDIV in Detroit. I've posted this in my blog before, but when you view the two back to back, it brings things into clearer focus.
This is the best illustration of why I think we should not be bailing out the Big Three. Quite simply, as long as the UAW has a stranglehold over the Detroit Automakers, the only way to make them competitive is with protectionist tarriffs, which history shows have never, ever, worked.
